Coming from around the Mediterranean they choose to flower in the autumn when the weather is cooler. The flowers come up before the leaves as can be seen in the pictures. Bone hard they will stand frost. The foliage is quite varied in shape with silver grey leaves giving good ground cover once a patch in quite large. If grown in pots water sparingly when the plant is dormant to prevent rotting. The plant you will receive are grown in 9cm pot.
